Kim Kardashian playfully engaged in a conversation with her lifelong friend Serena Williams following comments from the tennis legend on her recent tennis-themed photoshoot.
In the pictures, Kardashian posed in a pink Chanel bikini on a tennis court, playfully admitting she wasn’t holding the racquet correctly and expressing her desire to learn from the G.O.A.T. The friendship between Kardashian and Williams, spanning over 15 years when Kardashian worked as a closet organizer, has always had a touch of camaraderie.
This time, Williams’ constructive critique of her friend’s racquet grip took center stage. In a series of photos posted on her Instagram account, Kim showcased her serving technique and court posture. These images were part of a promotion for her SKIMS brand, specializing in shapewear and loungewear. Williams couldn’t resist leaving a witty comment on Kardashian’s post, playfully teasing her about the racquet grip and offering her lessons.
“Literally not how you hold a racquet. Clearly, I have to give you lessons lol,” 23-times Grand Slam champion wrote.
Kardashian addressed the photoshoot in a recent video with GQ, where she explained what was going on in the picture, adding that she would like some tennis lessons from Williams:
“I was walking to the other side. Is there a special way you have to hold a racket just to walk from one side to the other side? I was also out of bounds at that point. But I’m waiting. I would love lessons from the G.O.A.T.,” Kardashian said.
